SCOPE and FOCUS

Journal of Child Language Acquisition and Development - JCLAD is a triennial (three times in a year (2024 on)), double-blind peer reviewed journal which publishes original research papers in the field of child language acquisition and development.

Studies designed to test a part or the whole of language acquisition theories; those bringing forth new hypotheses related to the nature of language acquisition and those which set bridges between language acquisition and other disciplines are given priority. Studies which take a descriptive approach to the nature of language acquisition and development are also welcome.  

In addition to original research works, the journal encourages submissions of high quality manuscripts including literature reviews and theoretical discussions, book reviews, responses/critiques and invited commentaries.

The JCLAD, established in 2013, is affiliated with Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Turkiye

Review policy: The review method for the submissions to JCLAD is double-blind peer review. A manuscript submitted to JCLAD is read by the editor first and then, if the content of the manuscript is within the scope of the journal, it is sent to reviewers. Our experience since 2013 show that the avarage time of the completion of the review is about 3 months. Depending on the reviewers, this time may be  a litle longer or shorter.
